as for am here in the russian capital you're watching r t with me to mom would say it's good to have your company. the u.n. security council has issued a stern rebuke to north korea over a third nuclear test as it is held an emergency meeting in response to the test which was in defiance of international regulations there was asian says it plans to beef up the sanctions already in place for the country's previous atomic exercises archie is wearing a button eye has more. well the u.n. security council of unanimously condemned north korea's latest nuclear test there called it a. clear threat to international peace and security a press statement approved at an emergency meeting hours after pyongyang's latest underground test called the atomic blast a grave violation of three un resolutions banning north korea from conducting nuclear or missile tests now the council also pledged further action calling

peelings latest defiant a clear threat to international peace the security council also strengthen sanctions in response to. a missile test back in december and they promised the council members promised to take significant action in the event of this new nuclear test now while there was a unanimous unanimous sentiment within the security council in the midst of this emergency meeting some members like china and russia said that the international community should tread carefully a russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that no country in the international community should not jump to quick conclusions or actions while i would like to stress that north korea's nuclear test deserves condemnations we hold the will not be used as a pretext to build up a military presence around the korean peninsula we believe that flexing military muscles in the region is extremely dangerous now u.s.

president barack obama also warned that both tuesday's tests and earlier satellite launches are provocations according to the u.s. president and he frightened for their swift and credible action against pyongyang. also condemned the nuclear test on a deplorable of the test was also criticized by many others including britain japan france the e.u. the i need a north korean diplomat john young wrong also told the u.n. disarmament forum in geneva recently that his country quote will never bow down to any reza. lucian and that was in response to criticism that nuclear test violated several u.n. security resolution now pyongyang has also threatened that if the u.s. response to the test with hostility then unspecified quote second and third measures may follow it seems as though if you just based on the patterns that are taking place that north korea is not backing down despite any threat of resolutions

or sanctions. marina but neither with the latest on the u.n. security council's reaction to north korea's nuclear test and we've got a live a timeline to keep you up to date on all the latest reactions and developments on that issue and our t. dot com. china was among those who criticized north korea's nuclear test however the war correspondent and columnist eric margolis things the relations between the two allies are unlikely to sour the chinese don't like to be seen as the only nation supporting. north korea not well thought of any were world. building and north korea is important to trying to strategically it's. the chinese believe that if north korea and the regime there would implode collapse like germany and russia. the south koreans would move then gobble up north korea

and the u.s. . forces move close to the chinese border join it does not want the search china needs to keep the north korea or she going on. as it is my own guess is that the chinese will. denounce the north koreans but will continue quietly supporting them and china is the main source of food for north korea and i don't think the chinese are going to shut off the taps and see us in north korea . right we're always interested in your opinion on current events and on our website we're asking whether north korea should pursue nuclear technology to safeguard its own national security and now here is what do you think so far just over a third of you. yes just last saddam hussein very cheeky and a little under thirty percent of us think north korea is right in

a way but their reasoning is flawed to do its ideology and international isolation twenty percent of you said that they wish they had been left and alternative but to pursue nuclear technology to ensure its security and finally eighteen percent of you think that north korea is run by mad men who are asking for war we always value your opinion so if you go to r.t. dot com to cause your vote. right iran said it may allow inspectors from the u.n. nuclear watchdog access to a military complex suspected of hosting atomic research although to run has always denied the parchin site is a nuclear facility the i.a.e.a. inspectors will arrive in iran for a new round of talks on wednesday in another move aimed at easing the tension over its nuclear ambitions to run said it is converting enriched uranium into reactive

fuel that will slow up the buildup of material which could potentially be used to make nuclear weapons matthew mccoskey research fellow in nuclear security of queen mary university in london says talks between iran and america are the only solution to the stalemate. if the international society and. inspectors are allowed in that this is definitely going to be a very good sign from it on or to the international society because it has to be mentioned that. this would not be the first star and it would go into power to. the board if i'm not mistaken three times and they have not found anything but there are still concerns you have raised it on that has not yet replied to questions posed to them but one thing has to be mentioned in order to understand and done by the regime one has to remember that there is a rhetorical. action on if it is rhetorical is met by action by

the end of this month or in the near future then this is definitely going to be a very good trustable exercise one pin many analysts a country agree on is that in order to in order to. stop the whole crisis the ringing crisis as there is in me or direct during the american talks and this is something that we still are not saying at all. and while a breakthrough seems unlikely patients in iran need to remain patient iran's doctors are sounding the alarm as they say sanctions really are as a result in a c.s. the view or lack of medicine our report on that just ahead. egypt's opposition is turning more radical as protests become increasingly violent and on the case movement of mass men calling themselves the black bloc is attracting more supporters it's threatening islam as authorities and sparking fears of

a possible all out street war bell trees in cairo and tells us about the group which has given r t exclusive access. this mysterious group appeared round the second anniversary of generosity five evolution when they released this statement saying they would fight the missing brotherhood and they would strive for the goals of revolution around about the time we started seeing a young man in black but a car this according themselves said the black bloc and they were heading up the moment it's signs of the revolution we saw the making want to talk on my facebook pages they were giving instructions to the street fighting it taking responsibility for a number of the acts of civil disobedience such as stopping public transport and also have said they were responsible for the burning of muslim brotherhood headquarters of some of them this of course has sparked much criticism from the authorities including the miss brotherhood and that the t.v. channels the prosecutor general intention of january i said they were terrorists agree on that they would be arrested if they were caught red handed our team

managed to secure interviews with this members of the secret organization. the black bloc is an idea that came about as a reaction to the negligence of our peaceful demands and also as a reaction against the oppression of the interior ministry which received orders from the regime we stand against the oppressive and tyrant regime we call upon the interior ministry to deliver justice for those who have been killed and we will continue our demands until they are met our actions are in self-defense we are protecting ourselves but have never attacked anyone we will always be present in egypt even after or demands are met however we will take on a different form the aim behind our presence is to prevent injustice in any form no one listens to our demands and the proof is the number of people who are being killed but of course we had so much as to mock care this stepping down of the ouster of hosni mubarak this of course devolved into clashes by the presidential palace much take us was throwing up protest as he responded with molotov the

similar protests occurred around the country down south in the suit and now we have reports pleading egypt's second city in alexandria all the. the focus of the class is definitely as is most weeks by the presidential palace an indication that protesters are turning to move violent means to push the regime to fulfill their demands. under the new gyptian constitution the black bloc is considered a violent outlaw group political activists says there's a reason for the opposition to be so desperate. they stand for a just cause and they're trying to portray themselves as a vigilante but the true anger behind it's the frustration from the lack of social justice the lack of fulfillment of the demands of the revolution so it's a true anger among certain groups of youth but then their frustrations in violence so that this could turn to peacefulness of the egyptian revolution which was which

resonated all around the world with a lot of positive connotations the first reactions from the muslim brotherhood is that they will create something called the white law in order to respond to that pressure from the black bloc now both of them will be deemed. illegal groups if that happens but i'm not concerned about the violence being organized among different starters of the society however how it's being employed on the streets to falsify the collective perception of people through media the situation that egypt is becoming a lawless state and it's becoming a failed state both on the economic level and the security level egyptians by nature are not violent and these are tactics being employed so that egyptians grow desperate all the time with all the crises economic crises and all sorts of

protests all around the country so that egypt. collectively people start thinking that the muslim brotherhood is doing a lousy job which more or less they are doing a lousy job however it's to push people to beg the military council for a cool so that they can kick out the muslim brotherhood to justify the military overtake of the government. still ahead when back to work policies are in the working a court rules that the british government's program to ease joblessness was what is called what's wrong with the u.k.'s ways of tackling the problem. a big speech with a little space with some crucial issues broke obama prepares to address his nation focusing on the prosperity of the average american leaving out the more controversial issues the story much more after the break.

creation why you should care about humans. this is why you should care only dog. you're watching r t british government policies to tackle unemployment taking hammering with the court's ruling that a planned forced labor program was an willful adults like taxpayers will be left to foot the bill for mistakes made by m.p.'s our tastes are for us take a look at the u.k.'s shaking work this system. university graduate kate riley and forty year old jamison wilson succeeded in their claims that their unpaid work scheme that they were made to take part in was indeed a lot for them but was taking place in the court of appeals today and they argue it was that the surrounding issues will eagerly flawed so they were successful and a small but significant victory now the law is that that ruling say it could mean

that thousands of people who have their benefits stripped from the under similar circumstances in this government work program could reclaim that money that could leave the door open to the millions of pounds compensation that would be footed by the taxpayer of course that's causing a lot of concern that the d.w.p. is saying that they are not going to be coughing up any cash whatsoever in our teeth done its own investigation into the work program it's been a hugely controversial program a lot of problems in response to what's the government has said that it was ridiculous to suggest that there were any problems with the work program and that it wasn't helping people get back into work but look this is all being quite embarrassing for the government today not speak to us more about this i'm joined by amery o'reilly for the boycott work there program thank you very much for joining us a small victory do you think that far enough because on the surface of it it seems

like a big deal and a win the obviously the people involved in that but is this going to be as hard hitting and as far reaching well today's ruling is really significant for us it shows that workfare forced unpaid work in the u.k. isn't just wrong it's also been unlawful so that means every single person who's been sent on these schemes in the last two years was sent on them unlawfully and the tens of thousands of people who faced really extreme hardship and possible destitution by having their money stopped as a result of not participating may well. be entitled to claim that money back but you're right it doesn't go far enough the still a lot to be done when of this my significant schemes mandatory where tactility is still intact and really disturbing me the government threatening to bring emergency regulation through to bring workfare straight back in this when just today the schemes are found illegal when they've been riddled with corruption allegations from the start and the government's own research shows that has no effect on

helping people find work you know there are millions of people unemployed here in the way and of course the imperative is getting them back because work i don't think anyone's the jesting that these people shouldn't be put back to work but i think it's the rhetoric that surrounding it and indeed the figures as we said r.t. did their own investigation and the figures just do not add up the percentage of people who were actually getting jobs from this program were incredibly full of but it was worse than doing nothing a tooth so really the figure is quite shocking but you're right this is a fair assertion and one that i've put in conflicts where it's hugely controversial loads of criticism about these government work schemes but they are schemes that are in place and the governor is quite right getting people back into jobs are they not unemployment in the u.k. at the moment is a huge huge issue but the government nice that these schemes don't work its own research shows they have zero effect on helping people find work possibly worse and doing nothing at all. instead of helping create jobs what they're doing is

replacing paid work but handing big business like our gas tesco poundland hundreds of thousands of hours of unpaid work effectively replacing jobs that would exist if the schemes weren't in place not only that the government is using these schemes to massage the unemployment figures because when people are forced to work without pay on the schemes they can't count them as having a job a very strange definition of having a job with not a single person is receiving a wage because one graduate who is on that work program certainly a small but significant victory and it's the lawyers for that case said today it certainly means that the government now has to go back to the drawing board when it comes to their work schemes. barack obama is preparing for his big primetime speech is for a state of the union address and three lection his main focus will be domestic issues economic recovery gondolas and immigration foreign policy will not be in the spotlight spike on top of the many issues including secretive u.s.

they're just going to paper over it with a bunch of empty promises or borrowing money from across the world but at some point you know the people of this nation are going to wake up they're going to realize the pain and suffering that all this borrowing and all this propaganda war around the world has cost us and you know that it will be the citizens of this country and the rest of the world that matter that are going to suffer. check out our website for more international news stories here's a quick glimpse of what we've got before you britain is having to read the new generation of hackers as is short of id experts to fight cyber attacks against it a new report says it will take at least two decades to plug the gap more and r.t. dot com. also racist amusement of claims find out online how a white rabbit has led to disneyland and facing allegations of bigotry all the details on our website. despite the
